Richland Discovery Theatre

Richland Discovery Theatre is an immersive arts learning experience that caters to students, 12-18 years old. Students take priority roles on stage and off, everything from acting to lighting design, while they work along college theatre students and seasoned community theatre professionals to create a collaborative production to present to the community.

Past productions include James and the Giant Peach (2011), Fairytales of the Future (2012), and A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2013).

No problem! We’ve got positions in all the different areas of theatre. Learn to be a designer, a carpenter, a director, or a makeup artist. It is up to you.

Where does Discovery Theatre meet?

The majority of our time and rehearsals are in Shilling Auditorium at Richland Community College and that is where the shows will be held.

What does it cost?

Currently there is no cost to be involved in Discovery Theatre however, spaces are limited, so apply quickly before they are filled.

What if I’m over 18? Can I be involved?

Absolutely. Once the students are accepted and in place, we will place non-students into production where they fit best.

Can I get college credit for this activity?

Yes you can. THTRE 160: Theatre Production is a course that offers credit for theatre production activity. If you are a Richland student you can sign up and use your Discovery Theatre experience to earn college credit.

I don’t have any experience with theatre, is that a problem?

Not at all. We love people who are new to theatre! You will be working along side students and seasoned community theatre professionals that can help you learn.
